Vermiculite is a kind of natural, inorganic, layered mineral that comprises a group of hydrated, laminar magnesium-aluminum-iron silicate minerals resembling mica. It is a relatively rare mineral and belongs to silicate. Vermiculite deposits are associated with volcanic ultramafic rocks rich in magnesium silicate minerals, and flakes of the mineral range in color from black to shades of brown and yellow. The crystal structure of vermiculite contains water molecules, a property that is critical to its processing for common uses. Because vermiculite has the ability of ion exchange, it has a great effect on soil nutrition. Use Vermiculite […] - [What is Silica Sand Used For?](https://www.miningvalleys.com/what-is-silica-sand-used-for/): What is Silica Sand? Silica sand, also known as quartz sand, white sand, or industrial sand, is made up of two main elements: silica and oxygen. Specifically, silica sand is made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2). Silica sand deposits are most commonly surface-mined in open pit operations, but dredging and underground mining are also employed. Extracted ore undergoes considerable processing to increase the silica content by reducing impurities. It is then dried and sized to produce the optimum particle size distribution for the intended application. Although quartz is often white or colourless, it can come in a wide range of […] - [Fused Silica](https://www.miningvalleys.com/fused-silica/): What is Fused Silica? Fused silica is made of high purity crystal silica by electrically fusing (fusing temperature 1800-2000℃) to amorphous Silicon dioxide, then it was classed to different grades by manual and then specially engineered to granular and powder form. Fused silica in comparison to crystalline silica is purer and has lower specific gravity and linear coefficient of thermal expansion.
